It's over $9000 for sure.
Toriyama's likely one of the richer, if not in the class of richest manga authors. He had two huge series in Dr. Slump, and Dragon Ball as well as a bunch of work on Dragon Quest, and others. At this point it's clear that whenever he does a one-shot or something he's doing it either as a favour, or just an artistic relief.
"I like the money it brings in, but Dragon Ball Heroes is the worst. That's actually the real reason I decided to start working on new material. I was afraid Bandai would make something irredeemably stupid like Super Saiyan 4 Broly." - Akira Toriyama, made up interview, 2013.

Toriyama assuredly makes a lot of money for doing work for the Dragon Quest series. He also probably got a pretty fat check for Dragonball Evolution. Seeing as Bird Studio/Toriyama is credited on every Dragonball-related work it means he's seeing a check.
Dude is definitely just fine.
